HOW TO BUY THE RIGHT ELECTRIC PALLET STACKER?
Buying the right electric stacker depends on several topics, of which some are: Budget, Space, access to electricity, required lifting height and required lifting capacity. It is very important to say, that all pallet stacker trucks for sale from EP come with a residual capacity that is lower than the rated capacity. While the trucks lift their rated capacity of for example 1000Kg up to 2500mm, the capacity decreases after this lifting height. When buying the correct electric pallet stacker, you need to know the needed residual capacity in your highest rack. Anyhow, also consider re-organising your warehouse and racks as it might be possible to move light pallets to the top and keep the heavy pallets on a lower level at the rack. While choosing the right pallet stacker might be difficult firstly, always consider as a first question: How many pallets do I stack per day, what's the weight of the pallets and how high is my racking. Most of the time these questions already lead you to the right electric stacker. Then contact your local electric stacker provider to find the right configuration for your application.
WHY BUY A PALLET STACKER?
